Time-killers.

It used to hurt me a lot when people fail to even listen to what I have to say. And when they said they were listening, they really weren't for they drifted from the conversation the moment they could do it. So yes, it hurt me when I didn't have a lot of ears that were patient enough to listen.

Hello there, I'm the Earthian.

I didn't realize people didn't owe me their time. The few people I thought were my friends were only hanging out with me because they had nobody else to stick with. I was like their last resort. I, on the other hand, felt incredibly lucky to have had them in my life. I felt happy that someone was spending their time with me. But something that happened constantly with them was everytime I got a little personal with them, they slithered away from the topic. Light topics like the breakfast I had that morning or the dinner I had the previous evening were the only ones acceptable for them. Because handling a serious conversation wasn't what they wanted to do when they chose to hang out with me. All they wanted to do was kill time.

That's fine, for them to kill their time. But what I also happened to note down later was that they were killing my time as well. And that's when it hit me that I'm way better off on my own. I didn't need their pity, neither did I want it. I wanted a true friend which they were never willing to be.
A few people care about what you're in need of. And a fewer people do something about it.

Choose wisely of who you spend your time with. Because you, my friend, definitely don't need a time-killer.
